I'm an American living happily in Sweden. I moved to Stockholm in 2012 when I joined Mojang, makers of Minecraft, as Chief Operations Officer. Over time my focus inevitably shifted to the creative direction and strategy for many of our outside-of-the-game efforts and my title changed to suit, becoming the Chief Content Officer in 2018.

I'm a producer on the upcoming Minecraft movie and the President of the Board of the Block by Block Foundation, a non-profit organization in charge of a programme we founded in 2012 that uses Minecraft to enable community-driven participation in the redesign and construction of public spaces around the world.

I ride bikes, travel often, play guitar and make photographs.

Fun fact: I was once interrogated by the Director of Secret Police of Kenya.
